Putting my defenses up, because I don't want to fall in love.

OOTD #12

Hi dolls,
 This is what I wore on Thursday to watch the Great Gatsby (amazing film!). I really wish I had a flapper dress, dripping with embellishment and jewels to wear, and a cute cloche hat to effortlessly throw on, but sadly, my 21st century wardrobe let me down *sigh*. So I just had to make do with what I know best; a crop top and skater skirt!

 Earrings-Miss selfridge
Crop top- Primark
Necklace-Accessorize
Watch- Olivia Burton
Skirt- Primark
Tights- Tesco
Nike Blazers- Office

This outfit is buy no means groundbreaking, but I really like the overall look :)

This is definitely my new favourite necklace, its just perfect for jazzing up plain tops and popping undershirts to peak out of the collar.

I wanted a change from my converses for this outfit (shock horror!), do I decided to wear my Nike blazers, as I thought the khaki would complement the purple on my lips and my skirt nicely, and just make everything a bit more casual :)

Obviously, this wouldn't be one of my outfits without my beloved Olivia Burton watch :).

My nails didn't really go with my outfit which bugs me (yup I'm weird like that) but I really like them none the less. I used a new Maybelline shade from the color show collection (that's the milky pink shade) and Look beauty polish in `Bling` for the glitter :)

My make up was actually pretty experimental for me! Notice the lack of winged-liner? ;) I used my favourite scadaleyes shadow stick in Bulletproof beige and the MUA undress me too pallet on my eyes, of course with a generous flick of mascara. I also applied a slick of an MUA lipstcik in the shade 2, I really wish it had a name! 

My OOTD's will be outside again once the weather perks up (famous last words...) so I hope you don't mind my bedroom in the background!

The Great Gatsby was such an amazing film; the acting was perfect, the music wonderful and the costumes literally to die for! If you are stuck for something to do next weekend for whenever, go and see it!

In other news, it was my first day back at school today *boo* so I wont be able to post as frequently this week, but I will try my very best!

Have you seen the Great Gatsby? What do you think of my outfit?

A very happy un-birthday to me.

OOTD...
On Wednesday, I went out for a meal with my girls in honour of my 15th birthday (which is this Sunday :))

In true teenage style, we ate in Nandos, seen as we weren't going anywhere fancy, I decided to go quite casual :)

 Jacket-Asos

Top-Topshop

Jeans-Republic

Nike Blazers- Office

It was actually pretty sunny and warm when I took these pictures, so I could get away with wearing my leather jacket without completely freezing to death!

I bought this little crop top a while ago now, but I had been saving it to wear for my meal :) I like the high neck and little side split details and although this is going to sound weird, the fact that its white, I'm not sure why, but there's something about white that makes me feel all summery! Because my jeans are high waisted I don't feel like there's so much on show either.

I stole my sisters Blazers for this outfit ;) I think they give the over all look a much more relaxed feel and are actually really comfy!

I just added some gold pieces to this aswell, because I wanted to keep it quite simple;

Sorry for how awful these images are, my sisters photography skills seemed to go out of the window at this point!



Earrings-republic

I bought these earrings a while back and I just love them! They're quite a statement piece and I think they're really unique. I also think its quite nifty that they go through the ear (but none of that gross ear stretching business goes on!)

Necklace- Mums :)

 Again I stole this necklace from my Mum ,its the perfect length for something with a high  neck and sits really nicely.

My make up and hair is just standard for me really, not to say that I don't like it this way :)

I had a really lovely time on Wednesday, its so lovely for us all to go out together, mind you I'm still recovering from going to sleep at half five after my sleepover ...

On a side note, I'm now on Instagram! check me out: alice_808

I will happily follow back other bloggers :)

What do you think of my outfit?
